Settlements

Anima[1] is the continent on which the Kingdom of Mistral is located. Within Mistral are several settlements including the main city of Mistral, Wind Path, Kuchinashi and Argus. Other small settlements exist, located outside the Kingdom.

The continent is host to a wide range of ecosystems, including swamplands, wind-carved cliffs, and forests such as the Forest of Hinoki[2]. Also notable is a large body of water known as Lake Matsu, which is host to numerous floating islands held above the water surface by giant natural deposits of gravity Dust. The floating islands of Lake Matsu are known to be a habitat for dangerous Grimm, one known type being the Lancer.

Trivia

Anima is the Latin word for "soul".

Most of the known settlements on the continent are named after East Asian flowers.

The continent itself is partially shaped like a real-world Eastern-traditional dragon, which is serpent-like and featuring proportionately short limbs compared to the quadrupedal Western-traditional dragon. The northeastern-most corner of Anima forms the dragon's head, and the southwestern-most corner forms the dragon's tail.
